Chairman of the Department of Economics
Dr. Albright said that it gave him much pleasure to recommend to the Board
of Trustees that Dr. Ray Marshall be named Alumni Professor of Economics and

In 1965 the Alumni Association established a President's Progress Fund to
provide three alumni professorships as well as scholarships for needy students. Dr.

problems of our times.

Jackson, Mississippi with a master's degree in economics from Louisiana State
University and a Ph. D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley. He

sissippi and is currently Professor of Economics at the University of Texas and
Graduate Advisor and Chairman of the Graduate Studies Committee. Dr. Marshall
has been a Fulbright Research Scholar in Finland, a Wertheim Fellow in Industrial
Relations at Harvard University in 1960-61, and a Ford Foundation Fellow in 1964-
65. His appointment to a position at the University of Kentucky will bring both
prestige and quality to the program in economics at this institution.

Marshall was appointed as Alumni Professor of Economics (with tenure) and
Chairman of the Department of Economics in the College of Business and Economics.

for the Jefferson Community College.
Dr. Jelley, a native of Arizona, has been at the University of Cincinnati
since he received his Ed. D. degree there in 1958. Since 1963 he has been director
of the University of Cincinnati Graduate Studies in Education and Professor of
Business Education. In September 1966 he was named Assistant Dean at UC. Dr.
Jelley's experience and training qualify him admirably for the directorship of the
Jefferson Community College.
